Michael Gorman, president-elect of the American Library Association (ALA), has stepped down just months before assuming office. â€œIt was the blog people, they did it,â€ said RLGâ€™s Walt Crawford, a friend and co-author (Future Libraries: Dreams, Madness & Reality; ALA, 1995). â€œThey made Mikeâ€™s life a living hell,â€ Crawford said in reference to the outcry following the publication of Gormanâ€™s essay â€œThe Revenge of the Blog People.â€

If you know how likely I am ever to call Michael Gorman “Mike,” you won’t even have to pay attention to the date of the item… (the “outcry” will be commented on in the next Cites & Insights, by the way: out some time next week).
